System chooses which data to move to SSD

The system chooses which data to move to the NVMe by analyzing usage patterns. Frequently accessed data stays in RAM, while inactive items go to the SSD. The technology could help future games optimize memory use, even if the disk cost is slightly higher. The Walking Dead: Streets of Survival allows shared saves between Xbox Series X|S and PC, syncing progress without wasting time on setup. Xbox's disc-to-digital feature converts physical games into digital versions with no loss of quality. Gears of War: E-Day uses the Xbox Series S's NVMe SSD as additional memory, improving load times and smoothness in complex environments. GTA 6 arrives on PS5 and Xbox Series S/X on November 19.
